Your Gift of Change will go to support families who have been violently displaced from their homes.
Since the beginning of the last administration in 2019, communities in Chiapas have fallen into the cracks between ruthless cartels vying for power and the complicity of state authorities. Despite claims by the current government of a newfound “peace” in the state, a “legalized” dispossession is now being deployed. A recent denunciation by the EZLN reported the burning of homes and the eviction of 50 Zapatista Support Base Families from their homes, aided and abetted by the Army, and state and municipal authorities.
Meanwhile, over 15,000 people remain displaced in Chiapas, forced to flee their homes, leaving animals, livelihoods and all their worldly belongings behind.
